Chiropractic: more you didn't know about what you should know about!

Ronald Pero PhD conducted a study at the University of Lund in Lund, Sweden. His hypothesis was that people with cancer would have a suppressed immune response to a toxic burden, while healthy people and people under chiropractic are should have a relatively enhanced response.
Pero's results: the chiropractic group demonstrated an increase in resistance and susceptibility to disease. Also, they showed 200% greater immune competence than those who did not receive chiropractic care and 400% greater immune response than than people with cancer or other serious diseases. Despite a wide range of ages, the immune response of the chiropractic group did not demonstrate the normal decline with age, it was uniform throughout the group.
Pero's conclusion: "Chiropractic may optimize whatever genetic abilities you have".

Protect Your Brain

The human brain has one of the highest metabolisms of any organ in the body. This means your brain never truly rests, which means it requires a sufficient supply of nutrients. There is an old saying, "fish is brain food", which has it's truth in the fact that many wild caught fresh water fish contain a high level of omega 3 fatty acids.
Omega 3 acids are a polyunsaturated fat composed of EPA and DHA. Your brain is nearly 60 percent fats, in which a majority are polyunsaturated. These fats cover neurons of the brain and are critical in not only the development of the brain but also the maintenance of brain function.
Low intakes of DHA type fats have been shown to increase the likelihood of depression and increase in DHA type fats have been shown to overcome depression.
There are a few good sources of omega 3 fats out there. The one I use can be purchased from innate choice.
